Proposition 8 Passed

My faith in the morals and values of Californians was revived when I saw the results of the election on November 3 and Proposition 8, an admendment to the California state Constitution to protect and restore marriage between only a man and a woman PASSED!!
I was so excited and moved. My testimony was strengthened in so many ways. Families is truly the foundation of the Lord's church and it was amazing to fight for something that I believe in and stand for so strongly. It was a hard fight though don't get me wrong or under estimate the passing of this Proposition. The hours and organization was truly amazing and I am proud to say that as a family we were a part of it all. Even if it hadn't passed Jay and I felt that we did all that we could have done, and that is what the Lord has asked of us.
But this does not been that the fight is over. We have to continue to stand strong and steadfast, even immovable to protect what is dear to us and valued, our testimonies in the Lord's church as well as our freedom of speech in this country. I learned one thing that there is very little tolerance for values and morals and we are not allowed, in some ways, the same freedom of speech. But if we stand strong together, and follow the Lord's plan, being instruments in the Lord's hands we can truly bring miracles to pass.
Thank you to all Christians and Americans with strong values to protect family, we must stay strong and continue to be united to provide the freedoms for our children.
